This course is designed for students who have a basic understanding of watercolour techniques and want to take their skills to the next level. You'll improve control, and explore more advanced skills such as refining your technique in working wet on dry, wet on wet, and in glazing.

Each week builds on key principles such as blending, layering, and adding texture, as well as exploring successful composition and design, allowing students to create more refined and expressive watercolour paintings. Through guided exercises, students will also explore how to capture light, shadow, and atmosphere effectively, adding subtlety and complexity to their work.

The course is structured to offer both technical instruction and creative exploration, ensuring that students grow both artistically and confidently with the medium. With a combination of quick studio exercises and more challenging compositions, such as portraiture and botanicals, you will leave with a deeper understanding of watercolour painting and a folio of accomplished works.
